Podiatrystaff

Dr, Schulman, a suburban native of Chicago, is a board-certified surgical podiatrist who has been practicing in the Phoenix Metro area for the past 25 years.  His hospital affiliations include Banner Boswell Medical Center in Sun City, Banner Gateway in Mesa, and Honor Healthcare - Thompson Peak in Scottsdale.  Leaping into innovative treatments in order to provide the best care for his patients, Dr. Schulman takes pride in utilizing regenerative medicine (e.g. lasers and injections) in all facets of his podiatric practice. 
 
Being an innovator in his field, Dr. Schulman also developed a novel regenerative approach to forefoot surgical reconstruction (e.g. bunionectomy, hammertoe and fracture repairs). From the 10-year experience he had with this innovative fixation method, he partnered in 2018 with WishBone Medical in Warsaw, Indiana to further develop this technology to help all patients – pediatric and adult.  Dr. Schulman specializes in primary and revision foot surgery and takes pride in treating metal allergic patients, patients with auto-immune disorders and patients that just have difficulty healing.
 
In July 2023 became the Director of Podiatry at IHMS in order for our patients to receive the best possible comprehensive foot and ankle care.

I studied at Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine and did my primary and surgical residency at POH Medical Center in Pontiac MI. After completion of my residency, I decided to return to my home state and open my private practice.

In my practice, I enjoyed the diversity of treating all ages and providing care to patients in an area I loved so much. I became Vice-Chair at East Ohio Reginal Hospital, which gave me the opportunity to give my insight where it was needed to better serve our community and provide better medical care to our patients.

I felt humbled that my colleagues trusted me with the care of their patients in their referrals, which made me strive even more to provide medical excellence in their care.

I came to Arizona on vacation to visit friends and knew where I wanted to be. I fell in love with the desert, the vast land, and the people.  I was excited to find that the opportunity to provide care to patients in their homes was available here. I believed in the ability to treat patients in their homes and provide care, making it easy for patients that otherwise would not obtain the care they needed without these services.

 After much prayer and thought, my wife and I decided to relocate. I transitioned my patients in my practice to a trusted colleague and we made the move to Arizona.

I am married to my wife, Deborah. We have 2 grown sons and 3 grandsons. I enjoy spending time with family, UTV riding in the desert, riding our horses with my wife, and camping.
